"This is just my opinion, but when I listen to Muslims explaining their religion to each other, I get the impression that Islam is hateful and violent, but that itâs also pretty stupid; âfull of shitâ, as my dad would say -because none of it can be justified or shown to be true, and what little they do know canât really imply what they say it does. The same thing goes for Christians. When I listen to Christians discussing their religion, I get the impression that theyâre hateful too, but their violent reactions are culturally inhibited. So they compensate for that with a staggering level of bewildering stupidity, coupled with dishonesty. It sounds to me like pots and kettles accusing each other in the perfect example of the blind leading the blind. But when I listen to those Jews who still believe in God and the Bible, and I hear them arguing aspects of their beliefs, it strikes me that the foundation of Abrahamic religion is utterly empty, devoid of any possible meaning or value. I donât want to say âwho cares?â, because way too many people do. Thatâs what confuses and alarms me! How could anyone imagine that any of this is really true or really matters?"
